After staying in Xuzhou City for three days, Cheng Yu and the others had basically visited all the big restaurants and teahouses in Xuzhou City. They had also heard a lot of gossip.
Sometimes, they even felt that sitting in a restaurant for a day was like walking through the entire cultivation world. Because you can hear all kinds of gossip in the cultivation world here.
Unfortunately, to Cheng Yu's disappointment, they had never heard any news about the Heaven Opening Mirror.
On the fourth day, Cheng Yu changed his appearance again and the other six people were all staying in Cheng Yu's magic treasure.
According to their plan, Cheng Yu planned to head north again to take a look at Hong Zhou in the north.
However, after he left the inn, Chen Yan, who was guarding the northern part of the city, suddenly had a look of doubt in his heart.
What's wrong? Manager Tang looked at Chen Yan's expression and asked.
Why do I feel that the auras of those people suddenly disappeared? Chen Yan closed his eyes and sensed again.
"Disappeared? How is this possible? Manager Tang was shocked.
They really disappeared Chen Yan opened his eyes again and said with a serious face.
How could this be? Could they have disappeared from Xuzhou City into thin air? Manager Tang couldn't accept this fact no matter what.
After all, there were seven of them. How could they disappear from the city for no reason?
It's hard to say now. It's also possible that they used magic treasures to hide their auras Chen Yan thought of a possibility.
"If that's the case, it's useless for them to do so. No matter what, they have to leave Xuzhou City. As long as we guard the four city gates, they won't be able to escape our sight!" Steward Tang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Chen Yan said.
After all, as long as they were still in Xuzhou City, they wouldn't be able to escape.
But I'm worried that the situation isn't as simple as we thought. They stayed in the city for three days and we also followed them for three days, but they were very normal.
Now that they suddenly hid their auras, it can be seen that they have a purpose for doing this Chen Yan analyzed.
You're saying that they didn't want us to discover them on purpose? Manager Tang understood.
It should be like this. Otherwise, why would they suddenly do this? If my guess is correct, they are probably going to leave the city now, so they deliberately hid their auras so that we wouldn't discover them.
Moreover, they probably have other ways to avoid our surveillance and safely leave the city without us discovering them. Chen Yan calmed down and speculated.
That shouldn't be possible. Although magic treasures can hide their auras, they can't hide their people. Manager Tang said.
"But I have a feeling that this matter is not that simple!" Chen Yan could not help but feel a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Don't worry. I've already ordered everyone to guard the four city gates. They won't be able to leave without us noticing," Steward Tang said confidently.
Although more than 50 people had been sent to guard the four city gates, City Lord Xu had promised to support them, so the four city gates' defenses were very strong. As long as the seven of them appeared at any of the city gates, they believed that there would be enough power to capture them.
Even if they weren't strong enough, they could send the signal and the other three city gates to support.
Therefore, in his opinion, it was impossible for these seven people to escape from Xuzhou City, unless they could really disappear into thin air.
Chen Yan also knew that the current defense was very strict and there were a lot of people. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be a problem.
However, he had a feeling that this matter wouldn't go so smoothly.
Cheng Yu arrived at the north gate alone, but he saw Manager Tang and Chen Yan at a glance. Although they didn't know Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu knew them.
Because of the Wood Mirror, after they chased out of Tianze City and were discovered by him, he already knew everyone's appearance. This was the difference between perception and the special ability of his magic treasure.
Although Chen Yan could sense their existence with his special ability, he had no way of knowing their identity and appearance.
However, when he approached the city gate, Cheng Yu didn't show any abnormalities and pretended that he didn't see them.
He followed the people who were preparing to leave the city and lined up behind them.
Although the defense of the entire Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty was very tight, there were still a lot of people here.
There were even quite a few cultivators above the Great Ascension Stage, not to mention those below the Great Ascension Stage. There were also many ordinary people.
Although people below the Great Ascension Stage didn't need to be checked, it would still be crowded if there were too many people.
However, people above the Great Ascension Stage and those below the Great Ascension Stage didn't have the same exit. Therefore, this didn't affect Cheng Yu and the others' inspection and passage.
Compared to those below the Great Ascension Stage, Cheng Yu and the others were obviously much slower. After all, they had to check one by one.
Not all the people lining up here were outsiders. It was much easier for the local cultivators to enter and exit. After all, it wasn't a temporary identity, so as long as they took it out and took a look, they would be able to pass.
For these foreign cultivators, the purpose of many people coming to the Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty was to travel or simply pass by.
Of course, there were also some other reasons, such as visiting friends or participating in auctions, but most people would choose the purpose of traveling.
After all, many people didn't want to tell others their true purpose, so if they wrote that they were traveling, it would be more extensive.
Therefore, there were quite a few people with temporary identity tokens written on them.
However, when Steward Tang and the others saw these people with travel tokens, they would strictly interrogate them and let Chen Yan take a good look.
After all, because of his special ability, he was able to sense the auras of those seven people.
How is it? Seeing so many people in the queue, Steward Tang asked Chen Yan.
There's no familiar aura here, I don't think they're here Chen Yan shook his head and said.
Are you sure they will use a disguise technique to change their appearance? Steward Tang asked.
That's hard to say, but generally speaking, there's no way to change the aura of a pill that changes one's appearance.
However, there's no one here who has the same aura as those seven people. Maybe they really aren't here.
What I was more worried about was whether or not they had gone to the East and West Gates. After all, they came from the South Gate. Logically speaking, it's impossible for them to return to Tianze City from the South Gate.
If that's the case, the East and West Gates can't distinguish their auras. Even if those seven people are in front of them, I'm afraid our people won't be able to recognize them! "Chen Yan said worriedly.
He was the only person who had this ability, but there were still at least two city gates that were missing.
"In that case, I'll ask them to close all three gates first. For the time being, we can't let everyone pass.
Once we're done here, we'll go to the other three doors to check. After the check is over, they'll come back here. If this cycle continues, no one will be able to leave Xuzhou City! "Steward Tang thought for a while and said.
"That's the only thing we can do now!" Chen Yan nodded.
Therefore, Steward Tang hurriedly said a few words to the guard, and the guard hurriedly released two signal flares at the city gate.
Boom! Boom!
After the signal flares exploded, the guards of the other three city gates saw the situation and immediately ordered the city gates to be closed.
This was their communication method. Two blasts meant that the city gates were closed.
However, when the three city gates were closed, whether it was the people who were preparing to leave the city or the people who were preparing to enter the city, they immediately became very dissatisfied.
However, the guards had no choice but to obey orders.
Moreover, there were also people from Tianze City here. Everyone had also received orders from the City Lord to cooperate with them to capture a few people.
Therefore, after threatening all the troublemakers, no one dared to make any more noise.
Cheng Yu queued up at the North Gate. It didn't take long for it to be his turn.
When Steward Tang saw that Cheng Yu's identity token had the word 'Travelling' written on it and that he was a Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator, he couldn't help but size him up.
"Take a look!" Steward Tang handed the identity token to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan also kept sizing up Cheng Yu. Although any Tribulation Realm cultivator was worthy of suspicion, this person's aura was completely different from what he sensed before.
"Where did you come to Xuzhou City?" Chen Yan looked at Cheng Yu and asked.
"From Lu Zhou City!" Cheng Yu said indifferently.
Lu Zhou City was in the east of Xuzhou. It was one of the cities after exiting from the East Gate.
"Then where are you going now?" Chen Yan continued to ask.
"Towards Hong Zhou!" Cheng Yu said.
"Why are you going to Hong Zhou?"
"Isn't it written on this token?" Cheng Yu said indifferently.
"Let's go!" Chen Yan nodded. Although Cheng Yu's attitude was rather cold, he didn't say much.
After all, he didn't deliberately come to find trouble. It was just that when he saw that Cheng Yu was a Tribulation Realm cultivator and his strength was also very extraordinary, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
This was because not everyone who passed by here was at the Transcending Tribulation Stage, and not all of them came here to travel.
However, Cheng Yu's body did not have any familiar aura. He also did not notice that Cheng Yu had concealed his aura, nor did he notice that Cheng Yu had used any appearance changing pills.
Moreover, Cheng Yu was alone. Of course, it was also possible that they deliberately separated and left alone.
Therefore, he had no reason to make Cheng Yu stay and could only let him pass.
Cheng Yu kept the token and directly passed through the city gate and left the city.
"Seems like there really isn't anyone here. Let's go to the other three city gates. Maybe they are all there!" Chen Yan shook his head and said.
"Since that's the case, let's go to the East Gate and West Gate first!" Steward Tang nodded.
He trusted Chen Yan very much. After all, Chen Yan was indeed a person with special abilities. Moreover, they were also good friends and often carried out missions together.
